- ARRT certification in Radiography or an ARRT-recognized specialty required

X-Ray Tech Jobs in Colorado: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a x-ray tech in Colorado?
You become a x-ray tech in Colorado by completing an accredited radiologic technology program, earning ARRT certification in Radiography, and then obtaining a Colorado radiography license through the Colorado Medical Board. Colorado requires licensure before practicing independently, so your application to the Medical Board follows ARRT certification. Programs at community colleges and health system affiliates across the Front Range offer JRCERT-accredited pathways that satisfy both requirements.
Which companies hire x-ray techs in Colorado?
Colorado x-ray tech roles are posted by CareNow, Health Images, and Voyage Health and others right now, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. UCHealth, SCL Health, Centura Health, and Children's Hospital Colorado are among the most consistent long-term employers for imaging staff across the Denver metro and beyond.
Which Colorado cities have the most x-ray tech jobs?
Arvada, Denver, and Highlands Ranch consistently post the most x-ray tech openings in Colorado. Denver anchors demand through its concentration of Level I trauma centers, academic medical centers, and outpatient imaging networks, while Colorado Springs and Aurora draw volume from large regional hospitals, military treatment facilities like Evans Army Community Hospital, and rapidly expanding suburban health campuses.
Are there remote x-ray tech jobs in Colorado?
Yes, but they're rare. About 0% of x-ray tech openings tied to Colorado are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, which reflects how hands-on the role is by nature since most imaging work requires physical operation of equipment with patients present. The small remote share tends to cover teleradiology quality review, scheduling coordination, or PACS support roles rather than direct patient imaging.
How can I get hired as a x-ray tech in Colorado with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is applying to new-grad or clinical residency programs run by large Colorado health systems such as UCHealth and Centura Health, which regularly hire newly ARRT-certified techs into structured onboarding cohorts. Positions titled radiography technologist I or imaging assistant at outpatient imaging centers and urgent care networks also hire candidates with clinical hours from their accredited program. Holding a current Colorado Medical Board license at the time you apply, even before accumulating paid experience, gives you a clear edge over unlicensed applicants.
Where can I find and apply to x-ray tech jobs in Colorado?
You can find and apply to x-ray tech jobs in Colorado on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers hiring across the state right now. Search the listings to find roles that match your credentials, experience level, and preferred location, then apply directly to the ones that fit.
